Electrical tape is cheap insurance to keep the inside of your barrel free of snow/rain/dirt.

Not sure I would trust that dude with the widows peak and the ice pick of a syringe to be anywhere close to me.

Yes, the only LQ elk tag I have ever held. I have no intention of ever doing it again. The hunt was great but waiting all those years without elk hunting was a huge regret.

There is still a virus? My small community has been problem free for a couple months now and literally everything is back to normal. All mask mandates are gone, all attendance at events are wide open, etc... Sure hope the rest of you guys end up in the same position soon.

Pic before, during and after my shot on my 350" desert bull. Picture of the elk is zoomed in a bit- it was 477 yards. 30-06 with 165 grain Hornady Interbonds. DRT

Have heard this is amazing but haven't had the opportunity since I saw it.

How many of those state changes removed all opportunity for you or others in your situation? I understand your argument but anyone with a set of morals would understand that what was originally proposed was wrong. Changes will be made to 90-10 before it passes. Residents like yourself have...

Those are definitely significant changes that will benefit a lot more residents. No questioning that. I also agree, quite a few ways to make up the funding. I was simply pointing out that you failed to show the significant loss in your math. The question still remains. How do you...

I think you are forgetting that Wyoming will lose a significant portion of the millions in preference point fees for sheep and moose. You would have to assume many will stop purchasing if they have zero chance to ever draw.

The bill just died... 4-1. Good news for non-residents.

I apply for moose only... Referenced the others because you did. There are a lot of things other states do that Wyoming doesn't do. I expect things to change but not so drastically that it would remove all chance at drawing for those invested. You would complain if you were a nonresident...

It's simply in my blood - I am a very happy man with a tag in my pocket pursuing whatever happens to be in season that will provide food on the table.

Buzz, you know the math is bad for that 12 year old regardless. Use moose for an example- Currently Wyoming has 22,182 people with moose preference points. At 75% or 90%, that 12 year old is likely still waiting 50 years + to get his moose tag. If nobody dropped out, the numbers are actually...

As rough as the increases are for some to swallow, they aren't nearly high enough to scare enough people off to the point that they won't sell their tags. Something to consider, good outfitters have wait lists multiple years long for 7-10k hunts. Make no mistake, the tags will sell. They...

I agree with you on almost every front. However, the fact that they have lured in so many people with the preference point game that will now NEVER have a chance to draw some species tags is wrong. For antelope, deer and elk, it will just mean a longer wait between drawing tags. For species...

The reality is for every one that drops out another 2 will replace that person in the points game. Fewer non-resident hunters will have an impact on some smaller economies but Wyoming tourism is going strong. So many more people go out to ride UTVs, hike, snowmobile, etc than I ever saw 10-20...

I agree- if the bill is passed. I think we will know where things stand by the antelope and deer application deadline.

This time has a different feel to it. As mentioned before, bills like this keep getting closer to passing. From a selfish perspective, I hope it takes another year or two to get done. I would love to cash in my moose points before they are trash.

Missed that - sorry. The waiting period does still apply for residents so at best you can draw the tougher hunt areas every 10 years or so. It will take a resident a lot longer to draw a good cow moose permit, even if they implement the 90/10 split, imo. Look at the areas and the points...

If I am reading the bill correctly, there will no longer be a special tag.
